Deconstructing Neoliberalism in Higher Education

Since the rise of neoliberalism in the 1970s, the divisions in American society have widened. These divisions are reflected on college campuses among students, faculty, and administration. Equality of opportunity to attend and complete college has declined as aid programs have decreased and tuition rates have increased. The divide among faculty is evident in the slow decimation of tenure and an increasing reliance on part-time and contingent educators.
This webinar brings together four scholars to discuss the costs to individuals and the institution of higher education as the loss of tenure undermines shared governance, academic freedom, and an independent voice in society. We also share our ideas on promoting greater equity and re-professionalizing the professoriate.
